2017 NOTE: Past print publications of the GCA included the following annotation, which has been retained to provide background information as to the source of the provisions (Guam Civil Procedure Code) and legislative history.

NOTE: A substantial part of Title 3, Guam Code of Civil Procedure, §§ 367 through 389, has been superseded by the Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure. 7 Guam Code Ann. § 2206 provides that sections of this title which have been replaced by the rules shall have no further force and effect. However, the Rules may change procedural portions only of this Title. Therefore, those sections will be deleted from this Chapter, and are to be found in their current form in the Rules of Court. What remains in this Chapter are those sections which are not specifically dealt with in the Rules of Court and, in addition, which are of a substantive nature. Rule 17(b) of the Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure refers to Title 3 (this Chapter) for matters dealing with the capacity to sue.

CCP § 367, Action to be in name of Party in Interest, replaced by
Guam Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 17.

The above annotation contains a reference to 7 Guam Code Ann. § 2206, which was never enacted into law, but was contained in draft legislation of Title 7 Guam Code Ann.. See Introductory Note for Title 7 – Civil Procedure.
